[quote=Anonymous]I would recommend either therapy or -- I don't know how this is going to be met on this board, but here goes -- something called Landmark.  I took a three-day course and saw some amazing things come out of it.  I had no such drama or trauma in my life, but there were people who clearly did.  And who seemed to have some revelations that could've changed their lives.  My sibling--who had been in therapy for almost a year--gave it a shot and was able to "get over" some of her issues.  It's intense, short, and very to the point.

One of the demos is the idea of "choosing" something about your life, even if it's something you haven't been presented a real option about. Such as, say, being a father. Because it's already happened.  You can get divorced, but you'll always have that little person out there. I suppose you could terminate all parental authority and never see the child again. But you cant un-make a child. He's here. And in this case, he calls you "Daddy."

So the question is really, now what?  Well, CHOOSE.  BE what you choose. Don't half-ass it. Don't wallow in resentment and anger. Don't blame someone else. BE THE PERSON. DO IT. CHOOSE.

Sounds hokey, but I'm telling you, in the context of various other concepts about living a life of integrity, this message resonated with many people.

You can see all the options -- and this father has more than one.  Just do it and effin' get on with your life, and let your wife and son get on with theirs.
